“Everything is made by hand by myself and and my fiance who helps sew the package together. Each card is hand screened, then a silver grommet is added, sewn with a bright blue thread, and finally the back of each package is filled out by hand as to which model handlebar the buyer has chosen. I also make the actual handlebars!”

“The Dada movement was a huge source of inspiration to the design of this top end boutique wine package. Typographically we settled on Braggadocio, a strange hybrid with characteristics of both sans serif and modern faces; and it belongs very much to its time. Like high society in the 1920’s, it should not be taken too seriously. But don’t be fooled – this juice is the real deal!”

“Photography is something you do for the pleasure of it, which is why pleasure and creativity formed the starting point for the design of HEMA’s new line in photography.

This line consists of dozens of different products in a wide variety of packaging types. The striking design has ensured that, despite all these differences, the line as a whole remains highly visible in the stores. At the same time, variations in the shape and colour ensure that the various product groups in the line are clearly distinguishable from each other.”

“This project was based on one of the YCN briefs where they asked from designers to create a totally new packaging concept for Doritos. Unfortunately, when I saw the brief the deadline was very close, but nevertheless I developed it. The shape and the texture of the Doritos chips are used as the base of this packaging concept.”

“This is a project for a ice cream identity and package family for kids. It was a final college project created for the Graphic Design Project class in the College of Arts and Design Caldas da Rainha (ESAD.CR), Portugal. The faces and expressions interact with the kids by showing how fun and delicious it is to eat ice cream and turn the package into a collectible and reusable fun object for kids. Particularly, I always feel like laughing when i look at theses happy faces.”
